Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

"Sure! I haven't been to the county town to sell game recently, and I haven't been there for a long time. Let's plant potatoes tomorrow and go to the county town the day after tomorrow!" Lu Chuan replied.

"Okay, if we can finish the planting tomorrow, then we will go to the county town the day after tomorrow."

After that, they started to eat. Today's meal was delicious. Both of them were full. Xu Han even drank a lot of soup! The soup was very tasty and I wanted to drink more.

The next morning, when it was just light, the two got up early to plant potatoes.

The two planned to plant all the potatoes in one day, which was still a major project.

Lu Chuan was digging the hole in front, and Xu Han was following behind, throwing potatoes and then covering the soil with his feet. His speed was quite fast, but his waist could not bear it.

I couldn't bend over or stand up straight, and my waist was numb after a whole day.

If it weren't for the famine, Xu Han wouldn't want to plant so much land. He would just plant enough for his family to eat.

After a busy day and finishing all the planting, it was getting dark, but Xu Han still didn't plan to cook.

For breakfast, lunch and dinner, we eat the food in the space and don’t have time to cook.

Fortunately, I had prepared some meals before, and with the extra meals I cooked every day, I could eat them for a long time.

At least there would be enough food for the whole autumn, so Xu Han asked Lu Chuan to buy a lot of pottery jars and large bowls for storing food!

After finishing their dinner, they took advantage of the moonlight to clean the chicken coop, prepared food for the chickens and ducks, and then went to rest.

Finally, I don’t have to worry about planting potatoes anymore. All I have to do next is go to the mountains to pick fruits.

Although picking mountain products is tiring, it is still easier than farming. Fortunately, there is no need to rush.

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, the two set out under the moonlight. Their home was far away from the county town, and even farther from the surrounding villages. If it weren't for the fact that they could take the water route to the county town, it might take a whole day to walk there.

Where the two lived, there were deep mountains to the north and deep mountains to the west. It took more than a day's walk to get to the nearest village in the east, and almost a day's walk to get to the nearest village in the south.

The county town is in the southeast, and the only shortcut is by water, but most people can't find this road.

When Xu Han knew the geographical location of her home, she couldn't help but sigh, this is really a great place, Father Lu is so good at choosing places!

It is far away from the nearby village, but very close to the county town.

Even if the army comes, there is no need to be afraid, as long as we block the entrance.

After arriving at the county town, it was still early. It was the time when people were preparing for the autumn harvest at the foot of the mountain, so the county town was very lively today, with many more people coming and going than usual.

They should all be going into the city to buy things, after all, the autumn harvest can be really exhausting.

Even families with poor financial conditions would cut some meat to feed their family members.

The two first came to Manxianglou and sold the prey that had recently been stored in the space.

Lu Chuan knocked on the back door of the restaurant. When the waiter saw that it was Xu Han and Lu Chuan, he hurriedly welcomed them in and went to call Manager Li.

"Brother Lu, you haven't been here for several days!" Before I saw the figure of Shopkeeper Li, I heard his loud voice.

"Ah! Madam Lu is here too. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

"Manager Li, long time no see! How's business lately?"

"Thanks to Brother Lu's game, business is pretty good!"

"I still want to thank Shopkeeper Li for taking care of my boss." The two of them exchanged greetings...

Lu Chuan gave the wild animals he had recently accumulated to his servant Chengzhong, and sold them for a total of 380 coins.

The prey that Lu Chuan brought to the restaurant to sell were all unprocessed. Although they would die if put into the space, they were still warm after being taken out, and looked fresh. But the price would be more or less lower.

Some time ago, when Lu Chuan often came to the county town, he brought almost all living things with him. The game he hunted was first placed in a cage, and given some food and water every day.

Put the dead ones directly into the space and take them out when you go to the county town.

After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Li, I went to the market again and bought a lot of seasonal fruits. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival is the season when a large number of fruits are on the market.

Today they bought a lot of pears, pomegranates, apples, and persimmons. They also made an appointment with an old man who sells persimmons to go to his house to buy persimmons later!

Maybe it’s because it’s close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw quite a few people selling seafood this time.

The two men acted separately and directly bought out all the stalls selling seafood in the market, spending a total of 20 taels of silver.

He went to the clinic again and got some medicine for treating the cold, which cost him two taels of silver.

Including the money spent on buying fruits, a total of 24 taels of silver were spent today. Now there are only 3 taels of silver from Xu Han and taels of change in Lu Chuan's hands left in the house.

There are 9 taels of silver in total. It seems that I have to hurry up to make money. It will be time to buy food after the autumn harvest. 9 taels of silver is definitely not enough.

However, Xu Han is not worried about the money problem. If it really doesn't work, she can exchange the things in the space for money!

Glass and mirrors already existed in this era, but they were products of other countries. Although they were very common and could not be pawned very expensively, the prices were still affordable for ordinary people.

After buying everything, the two rented a bullock cart and planned to go to the old man's house to buy persimmons. After all, there were a lot of persimmons to buy. If they went empty-handed, it would definitely be too conspicuous. How to transport so many persimmons? It didn't make sense!

When they arrived at the city gate, the old man was already waiting there. When he saw Lu Chuan driving the ox cart over, surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Uncle, come up soon. Let's go to your house together to transport persimmons." Xu Han saw the surprise in the old man's eyes. She thought that the old man must have had complicated feelings during the time of waiting!

I was happy that all the persimmons at home were sold, but I was also worried that Lu Chuan and the others would not come.

Looking at the old man's expression, Xu Han thought to herself that it was all her fault for being too careless. Why didn't she think of giving a deposit first?

At that time, I was only thinking about following the old man home, and didn’t think about how the old man felt while waiting.

When the old man heard what Xu Han said, he got on the ox cart without any pretense and said to Xu Han, "I just asked the villagers to tell my family to pick the persimmons first."

Xu Han felt even more embarrassed when she heard what the old man said. She hadn't even paid a deposit, but the old man sent someone to tell her to pick persimmons. The old man trusted her so much, why didn't she think it through!

"Then thank you, old man!" Xu Han said the words of thanks, thinking in her heart that it was okay, she would not bargain down or get the change!

The old man’s home was not far from the county town, and the ox cart took about three quarters of an hour to reach the old man’s home.
